Hey, everyone. As you may or may not have noticed, this post is my 2000th here on Smogon. I don't want to make a big deal out of it or anything, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who have made my time here great. There are multiple places on Smogon I where I participate and have a lot of fun, but it is the people of these places, the Showdown regulars, ASB players, OI movie people, and especially CAP contributors that make this site truly special to me. I'm not going to spend time going into specifics, but yeah, thanks everyone. This first 2k has been great, and I hope to be around for many more.
